My son just turned 4yrs old and he has been peeing in his room we had to tear the carpet up and replace the flooring with fake wood tiles so it can be cleaned easily. i'm so sick of it every day at least once he pees in there and i have to clean it it takes so long. he's been fully potty trained for about 10 months. any suggestions i feel like i tried everything from spanking to time outs to taking stuff away even having him help to clean it, and he still does it. the room smells like pee too (mostly cause his matteres he can no longer sleep on and needs to get thrown away, but it's not from him peeing the bed but from peeing on it)(it needs to go in the trash) I'll take any suggestions!! anyone have the same problem ever? I don't know if it has anything to do with anything but he's also obsessed with using potty words like poop, pee and even pretends to pee on sibs sometimes. I REALY NEED THIS TO STOP!!!!

	by ambr on Jul. 19, 2008 at 11:25 AM My oldest peed in the floor after getting potty trained and it was because it was hurting. I had stopped using baby wash and the soap was to harsh on his skin. I asked him why he was doing that and he said that it hurt. Sure enough i looked at it and it looked like the circumcision had opened up. (painful right). Some type of reaction to the soap. After we changed back he was fine. The only other thing i could thing of is the reward system.... Every time he goes to the potty then he gets a m&m and you put them in a cup and every time he pees in the floor he gets one taken away and at the end of the day he gets those m&ms. But the thing is that you would have to be SUPER consistent for a month or so until he gets it out of his system. Hope this helps, let me know and good luck, Ali
	by barbnrae on Jul. 25, 2008 at 3:27 PM That's a really good idea with the m&ms. My 4 1/2 yr old has been a constant wetter. We have JUST now turned the corner with him. He used to wet his pants out of laziness. He just dind't want to use the potty (sigh). Even worse is he had been totally potty trained (day and night) for a whole year before the wetting happened. We had to start punishing for wet pants during the day and if he wet at all we put him on baby rules. (no soda, no water after 6pm, no big boy games like video games, and baby bed time 7:30). he hated having to go to bed with the bigger kids stayed up and he hated getting time out for wetting. Amazingly he is dry now (thank GOD) I was starting to lose my mind. We had to throw way an entire full size mattress because of Branden and the smell was just icky. Hang in there. I wish i had better advice for the peeing on the floor thing. Branden would just pee in his pants. ugh Barb Quoting ambr: My oldest peed in the floor after getting potty trained and it was because it was hurting.

	by manda4 on Jul. 28, 2008 at 6:18 PM thanks for the tips. he is driving me crazy, he did already reck a full size mattress to and it was durring the day when he was awake. i think i will bring him to see a doctor b/c everyone says he has adhd and i'll talk to them about him peeing along with me and how stressed out i've been feeling lately. i just can't handle it anymore i didn't want it to come down to meds but it might be the only way to deal with him. i talk to him about stuff and he don't even hear me it seems like kids aren't aloud at our house b/c how bad he acts and grandparents don't want \him at there house. i'm pulling my hair out! and screaming all day! something needs to change. thanks for all the answers.
